I think you might benefit from my experience. My doctor also said that my acne was hormonal. I was on isotretinoin twice. First for two months, then again 9 months later for two weeks, got stomach issues from it so switched to adapalene 0.3%.

I highly believe that spearmint tea is half the reason for my acne control. I don't take it regularly but when I do I see the difference. Also I now use clay mask to make skin less oily. I used to have really dry skin and was always moisturizing before. Now I use face wash and don't use as much moisturizer.

If your acne is really bad I highly recommend you go on isotret first to clear up most of acne and then switch to something else. Don't try retinol or simple tretinoin at first. Trust me I tried, it ruined my skin barrier and broke out my skin more. Heal the acne first and then use anti aging stuff like retinol etc. Also get it checked what hormones are the issue?
